The two combined for 58 points and the Clippers hit a
franchise-record 16 3-pointers to snap a seven-game losing
streak with a 126-105 rout of the Memphis Grizzlies.

"I don't know the last time we had a win, but I know we were
definitely due for one," Randolph said. "We came out with a lot
of energy and lot of focus. That's what we need."

While the team's marquee free agent acquisitions, Baron Davis
and Marcus Camby, were virtually absent for most of the first
three quarters, Gordon and Randolph carried the load. The two
led an offensive onslaught in the first half, as Randolph
exploited the slow Memphis defense with a collection of post
moves and long jumpers.

"We got Zach back into his rhythm, and now we have a low-post
game," Clippers coach Mike Dunleavy said. "That sets up
opportunities where you take good shots. We were moving the
basketball and got a lot of good looks, and guys banged them
down."

Gordon, a rookie guard whose playing time increased
exponentially after the first month of the campaign, provided
fireworks of his own as he made his first six shots of the night
and finished a perfect 8-of-8 from the foul line. He knocked
down a pair of threes in a 90-second span in the first quarter,
then closed a frame with a nifty drive to the basket for an easy
layup.

"I thought Eric Gordon was great," Dunleavy said. "I thought he
had a great night of attacking the rim and shooting the ball for
us."

The Clippers closed the first half with a flurry, as Gordon,
Ricky Davis and Randolph all connected from long range in the
final 49 seconds - including Randolph's 50-foot heave from
beyond halfcourt - to take a 68-49 lead into the break. The
Grizzlies, who came into the day riding a modest two-game
winning streak, could not recover.

"We need to come out and compete. We need to compete like this
every night," Randolph said. "We got a lot of talent on this
team. I know our record don't show it, but we know when we
focus we play pretty good."

Randolph's 3-pointer with 2:48 left in the final quarter was the
Clippers' 15th of the night, breaking the franchise's
single-game record.

The rangy, 6-9 forward was playing his third game back since
missing more than a month with a bone bruise on his left knee
and finished with 35 points on 13-of-19 shooting.

Standout rookie O.J. Mayo had a rare off-night, going 3-of-9
from the field and finishing with just 10 points after putting
together back-to-back showings of more than 30 points.

"I was trying to limit some of (Mayo's) touches because when he
gets going, he really gets going," Gordon said. "He's a rhythm
player and he knows how to score. I just wanted to make sure he
had to work for it."

Rudy Gay picked up some of the slack, going for 26 points and
snagging five boards, but Memphis ultimately succumbed to one of
Los Angeles' hottest shooting performances in recent memory.
Over the final 5:22 of the third quarter, the Clippers hit
8-of-9 shots, including five 3-pointers.

"We were not attacking," Memphis coach Lionel Hollins said. "I
didn't think their defense was that great, but they did a good
job of keeping Rudy and O.J. out of what we were trying to do."

On the night, they shot 59 percent (46-of-78), including 55
percent (16-of-29) from the arc. During their seven-game skid -
during which they lost by an average margin of 20.3 points -
they failed to reach the 100-point plateau even once, but
snapped out of their scoring slump in a big way this time,
setting a season high in points.

Ricky Davis added 24 points off the bench for the Clippers and
knocked down six threes.

"It felt great (to get a win)," he said. "Guys were shooting
the ball. It felt great to get it going again."
